You could choose swats with a paddle, or writing sentences over and over.
Most people took swats, but I just picked sentences and never did them. They’d double the amount a couple times and eventually stop asking for them.
But absolutely zero boys gave a shit about taking swats, it was no deterrent what so ever. Even knowing that there was an easy way out of the alternative, they’d just take swats and immediately forget it happened.
If anything it made behavior worse, because they could do whatever and then have a few seconds of discomfort later if and only if they were caught doing the bad thing.

Great time to remind everyone that the adult men who administer corporal punishment in schools do in fact take great pleasure in spanking teenage girls, and that girls opt-out of it more than boys because they know it will border on sexual assault.
Girls have a higher pain tolerance than boys. They just know the horrific implications of being alone in a room with an older man who has authority and permission to use violence.
I had heard from a guy from singapore that many young men had the idea around the canning that they could do that standing on their head kind of thing.
The thing I said was a bad look for the trailer yesterday was made up. And here I’d been thinking Coppola had a file folder of critics that gave him bad reviews.
Nope. I have no clue what their thinking was here but it’s definitely turned me away from watching.
It supposedly bombed at Cannes (although the article says it got mixed reviews), but the real reason you shouldn’t watch it is at the end of the article:
Last month, footage also emerged of Coppola trying to kiss female extras on the set of the film with sources claiming unprofessional behaviour from the director on set.
The Guardian had originally reported that the 85-year-old was seen as “old school” in his behaviour around women while shooting, pulling women to sit on his lap and kissing extras to get “them in the mood”.
“Because Coppola funded it there was no HR department to keep things in check,” a source told Variety. “Who were they supposed to talk to? Complain to Coppola and report Coppola to himself?”
A crew member said to the Guardian earlier this year: “It was like watching a train wreck unfold day after day, week after week, and knowing that everybody there had tried their hardest to help the train wreck be avoided.”

This afternoon, Google, California Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, California Governor Gavin Newsom and many of California’s publishing lobbies announced “a first-in-the-nation partnership with the State, news publishers, major tech companies and philanthropy, unveiling a pair of multi-year initiatives to provide ongoing financial support to newsrooms across California and launch a National AI Accelerator.”
After two years of advocacy for strong antimonopoly action to start turning around the decline of local newsrooms, we are left almost without words. The publishers who claim to represent our industry are celebrating an opaque deal involving taxpayer funds, a vague AI accelerator project that could very well destroy journalism jobs, and minimal financial commitments from Google to return the wealth this monopoly has stolen from our newsrooms.
Not a single organization representing journalists and news workers agreed to this undemocratic and secretive deal with one of the businesses destroying our industry. Moments ago, the following opposition letter was filed with the California legislature:
We represent journalists and news workers who provide essential news for millions of Californians in print, digital, broadcast, commercial and nonprofit newsrooms.
The future of journalism should not be decided in backroom deals. The Legislature embarked on an effort to regulate monopolies and failed terribly. Now we question whether the state has done more harm than good.
California’s journalists and news workers OPPOSE this disastrous deal with Google and condemn the news executives who consented to it in our names.
It’s frustrating how long it takes the legal system to catch up. I experienced corporal punishment in public school. It’s a barbaric and weird practice.
It is entirely possible to give children consequences without hitting them, you lack imagination if the only way you can envision giving a child consequences is to hit them.
Why do you think, “if you do something I disapprove of, I will cause you pain,” is a good lesson to teach a child? When a child does that to another child, it’s called bullying.
Gotta make sure the kids stay in line so you can get them to work. Don’t forget how many child labor laws have been loosened or removed by conservative states
I’m not a violent person. I’ve never been in a fight, let alone in jail for assault. If some school official did that shit to my daughter, it would be my first time for both.
Agreed. Most likely avoiding paperwork because boring and time consuming. Still should be disciplined for this but hey, everyone loves a good fairy tale so that’s how it’s spun.
The data available shows hitting kids does absolutely nothing to increase desired behaviors and in many cases is linked to increase in unwanted behaviors.
They were expecting tens of thousands (40,000 by one count) - which was the estimate hyped by the protest organizers. They got a few thousands (“more than 2,000”). The police were probably over-prepared, less threatened, and therefore less reactionary. It seems like the protesters behaved themselves pretty well, although that’s not always a guarantee against police brutality.
If Biden hadn’t stepped down, it might have been 40k protestors…
Kamala isn’t perfect, and we won’t know what she’s really like till she’s in office.
But she’s at least open to a dialog instead of siccing police on protestors and telling Dems that don’t like her to vote for trump if they don’t want to vote for her.
I think a lot of people just don’t realize how much Biden was hurting the party.
Yeah, same, after all the other heinous shit we’ve seen cops do to protesters at other times over the years this has been incredibly refreshing.
Along with 68, I think a big part of it is not wanting to repeat 2020. It took an insane number of wrongful arrests and incidents of brutality being caught on video but it might have finally temporarily sunk in for police leadership in one city that getting aggressive with protesters just makes them get aggressive back, but if you keep force to an absolute minimum people will usually just get their frustrations out of their system verbally and connect with some like minded people and everyone gets to go home without any black eyes or broken bones or shit.
Yeah. Having that captain or whatever there (no idea what the acronym meant) does a lot to hold police accountable.
But I think the only reason he’s out there on the streets is pressure from Chicago politicians.
I dont think he’d do it on his own, or that police would be as nonviolent as we saw yesterday without that pressure from Dem politicians to not turn this into a giant shit show.
Most protests are nonviolent and would stay that way without incitement and outright violence from police through things like kettling.
It’s important to remember that of the hundreds of BLM protests, only the ones where something newsworthy actually happened got reported by the media.
If something never makes the news when everyone behaves, then your brain only ever receives the negative signals, reinforcing the human brain’s natural bias for remembering negative outcomes over positive ones. This leads to an inaccurate picture of what the world is actually like.
This is why statistical analysis is so important. Numbers are harder to fudge than memories.
